KTC_Dickless logoDICKLESS
Know Theatre of Cincinnati
Jan. 27-Feb. 12
[Over-the-Rhine]

Directed by Brant Russell

Cast: Tess Talbot as Saff/Oli, Jared Earland as Smith Henry & Syndi Solomon as Titch

An internet rumor. An incriminating photo. A heart-pounding, adrenaline-fueled pursuit of revenge in an electrifying dive into the seedy underbelly of a small English town.

Saff’s best friend is being slandered online by her ex. Meanwhile, Oli’s being blackmailed by a mysterious stalker who somehow knows his most-guarded secret. And Smith Henry is broke, scrambling to pay off a debt that’s come due.

They’re all about to learn that vengeance is wilder, bloodier, and far more unpredictable than they bargained for.

Rated R: intense language, sex, violence, adult themes. 90-minute run time.

Falcon Theatre
Jan. 27-Feb. 11
Newport

Directed by Ed Cohen

Cast: Jay Woffington as John DAgata, Susan Jung as Emily Penrose & Christopher Wells as Jim Fingal

Jim Fingal is a fresh-out-of-Harvard fact checker for a prominent but sinking New York magazine. John D’Agata is a talented writer with a transcendent essay about the suicide of a teenage boy—an essay that could save the magazine from collapse. When Jim is assigned to fact check D’Agata’s essay, the two come head to head in a comedic yet gripping battle over facts versus truth.
